The Effect of Expectations
We in the book a good example about it
-an experiment in which an objective math exam was administered to two groups of Asian-American women. Before taking the test, the women from the first group were asked questions regarding gender-related issues, whereas the second group had to answer questions about race-related issues. The second group did better than the first one and met the expectations Asians are good at math. Ariely concludes, “Expectations can influence nearly every aspect in one’s life He gives a convincing argument that expectations can override our senses, partially blinding us from the truth.
This is true
Some people when they wake up in the morning they start to expect how they will spend this day and is it will be lucky day or not and everything may go through their expect , in some days they didn't accept any deals and the reason was : sorry it is not my lucky day .
And many time , when we visit a very smart and known doctor and after we exit from his clinic , without any bill of medicin , we feel better directly .
Hello Karam,
YanıtlaSilI agree with you. I have a lot of experience which prove the power of our believing and it really give direction to our lives. For that reason most of time I'm trying to think positive.
I totally agree with your last part "And many time , when we visit a very smart and known doctor and after we exit from his clinic , without any bill of medicin , we feel better directly" and i could say even more if i have a tooth ache when i see my dentist my teeth feel better.
